The report of the superintendent of the Vaccine Institution for the
year 1858, has been presented to the Government, by
which it appears that 637 individuals have been vaccinated at the institution
in Sydney, and a supply of vaccine lymph has been sent to medical
practitioners in the country for the vaccination of 2,092 persons.

This is independent of the annual returns sent by the district
Government vaccinators. On the whole, however, a general apathy in this
respect has been prevalent.
